[Mcmahanl]

Has anyone installed HugeSeq on Mac OS X Lion desktop?

[Niek De Klein]

Are you having problems with the installation, or do you want to know how satisfactory someone finds it?

[Mcmahanl]

I would like to know whether HugeSeq runs on Mac OS X desktop.

[Sukhi Singh]

Please correct your link, you have an extra string in the url i.e. "HugeSeq"

Cheers

It appears that the software that you link to consist of a large number shell scripts that in turn execute various other tools such as bwa, samtools, GATK etc. It also appears to require the Sun Grid engine.

I would guess that it will run just fine on a Mac but it also seems that since it consists of so many small interdependent pieces managing it will require substantial system administrator skills.

So probably easier to dual boot / virtual machine linux

[Mcmahanl]

Don't know virtual machine linux, need to learn about it. Is there a site where I can download linux virtual box for mac desktop?

[Niek De Klein]

I used https://www.virtualbox.org/, you can find your favorite linux image from http://virtualboxes.org/images/ (or by googling around a bit)
